Let the Waters Rise by Mikeschair

This song really touches me. I love it. It just totally goes along with my frame of mind.....

Let The Waters Rise lyrics

Don't know where to begin
Its like my world's caving in
And I try but I can't control my fear
Where do I go from here?

sometimes its so hard to pray
When You feel so far away
But I am willing to go
Where you want me to
God, I trust You

There's a raging sea
Right in front of me
Wants to pull me in
Bring me to my knees
So let the waters rise
If You want them to
I will follow You
I will follow You
I will follow You

I will swim in the deep
'Cuz You'll be next to me
You're in the eye of the storm
And the calm of the sea
You'll never out of reach

God, You know where I've been
You were there with me then
You were faithful before
You'll be faithful again
I'm holding Your hand

There's a raging sea
Right in front of me
Wants to pull me in
Bring me to my knees
So let the waters rise
If You want them to
I will follow You
I will follow You
I will follow You

God Your love is enough
You will pull me through
I'm holding onto You
God Your love is enough
I will follow You
I will follow You

Ohhh

There's a raging sea
Right in front of me
Wants to pull me in
Bring me to my knees
So let the waters rise
If You want them to
I will follow You
I will follow You
I will follow You

Ohhh

You know, sometimes, life just aint great. Sometimes there is hurt, pain, heartache. A lot of times it is distraction from the enemy. There are days I just wanna quit and stay in bed...or you just wanna be BAD...whatever BAD looks like in your life. For me it varies from eating a HUGE bowl of ice cream, to going out and having too many drinks to numb it up...or even more drastic, like ending a friendship or a marriage.. Stuff is hard sometimes. But I choose to follow God, I choose to press in to Him always. The Bible says in

Isaiah 43:2:

When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze

We do have that promise as Christ followers. He will never leave us. He is right there the entire time. When we are feeling like we are gonna drown or be consumed, or walkin through a fiery trial and we don't think we can bear any more. He wont ever give us more than we can handle...ever, He promises that in his holy scriptures.

I encourage you to find that song and listen to it...just reading the lyrics doesn't do it justice.

Love,
